I get the feeling that I will have lots of motivation to write this weekend!

-One Month Later-

-Sam-

So it's my birthday in a couple of days and me and Gabriel have thought and thought about our problem. At least I came up with an idea that could solve one part of the problem - we're 11 so we don't have that much money - but I put 'gift card to Hardware and Building CO' on the top of my wish list. My parents may wonder why I want that so our family rule is a great thing.

I used to think it was a strange thing that we got to put whatever on our wish list without any questions but I am pretty sure it's because Dean and I always used to ask what everything on mom and dad's list was so they didn't want to have to explain it for us. So right now I don't mind, Gabriel and I don't want all the unnecessary questions that we can't answer. So now I have to have hope in my parents. I erased all the things from my wish list that I didn't really want that much and put the gift card on the top.

It's going to be quite nice to finally be 11 years old. Gabriel will have to stop teasing me about being younger than him.

I haven't been at Gabriel's place in a long time, he haven't told me why but says his mom said no. He did tell me about when Lucifer came to pick some things up for Castiel so I can understand that maybe it's not the best time for Gabe to have friends over. Luckily we have our treehouse. So we won't have to hang around Gabe's homophobic parents nor Dean and Castiel.

I've only met Gabriel's dad a few times, he is kind of scary. Once he was home in time for dinner and during the whole meal he was saying horrible things about gay people going to church and when he told us about the news about a trans girl killing herself he said that it was good. So yes, Gabe's dad scares the crap out of me.

Gabriel's mom isn't very nice either. If I had kids there would be nothing that they could do that would make me throw them out of the house. Sometimes I really do not understand other people. Especially grown ups. Aren't they supposed to be the wise people we look up to?

It is a mystery to me that Castiel and Gabe still have love for their parents. But I guess even if your parents let you down and are abusive they are still your family. But they are assholes. Huge assholes.

-Gabriel-

I asked my dad for money to buy a friend a birthday gift and he gave me 30$. That's a lot more than I thought he would give me but I'm very grateful. I don't have to buy something for the money, it's better to give Sam the money and then we can use them for our treehouse. I put the money in a fancy envelope I found in a drawer of mom's and a note. It's nice to have something done. Usually I procrastinate and stress about the thing a couple of days first. That's how I do my homework. Heh.

Shit that reminds me, we have a math homework that should be done tomorrow. I'll text Sam and see if he can help me. I'm not very good at what we are working with right now.

'hey sam, can u come over and help me with our math hw??' I wait for a minute.

'Seriously gabe, u haven't done the homework yet?' I snort.

'hahaah have u met me?'

'ugh, ill be over soon'

I smirk at my phone. After a while there is a knock on the door and I let Sam inside. I inform him that I am currently alone at home and that mom will be coming back in a couple of hours so we can continue watching Doctor Who after we finish the homework as long as Sam can leave before mom gets home.

It doesn't take long to finish the homework because Sam is a genius when it comes to ...everything pretty much. Then I make him help me with the last question on the English homework because I'm lazy and don't really understand the question. After all that we start watching the episode we are on, season 5 episode 6, The Vampires Of Venice.

At 8pm we have watched almost 7 episodes. We will soon start the sixth season but I guess that will have to wait until some other day. I glance over at Sam, yep, he is asleep on the couch. He did mention something about reading the fifth Harry Potter book all night so I can see why he's tired. He looks a lot smaller asleep, awake he is so damn tall but curled up into a small ball he looks to be almost average sized. I snap a couple of pictures and adds them to my 'annoy sam' photo album.

My heart almost stops when I hear someone open the door but then I remember that it's most likely my mom and not some axe murderer. I tiptoe to the hall where mom is hanging her jacket on the coat hanger.

"Hi darling, shouldn't you go to bed soon?" She takes her shoes of and places them next to the doormat.

"Yeah but Sam and I got stuck watching Doctor Who." I say and mom visibly freezes for a second.

"Wait, Sam's here?" She asks. My smile falters a bit.

"Yeah? He helped me with my homework and then we decided to watch some tv." Mom sighs.

"Gabriel, honey. I don't want to be the one to say this but... your father and I have agreed," she finally looks me in the eye but only for a second. "we don' think you should be hanging around Sam and his family." My smile is completely gone now and I'm struggling to understand.

"What?" They can't be serious, this is a joke. Right?

"Well Sam... you know his brother is...," she looks like she doesn't want to say the word out loud. "gay." She whispers.

"And his family is doing nothing about it so I, we, don't think you should be around them. They could influence you." I stare at her. A thousand thoughts run through my mind. After thinking​ it through a bit I decide to keep my mouth closed I should not be picking a fight about this right now. I only nod.

"Ill tell Sam to go home." I say with a voice as steady as I can make it. Mom kisses my forehead.

"Okay, I love you. Better go to bed before 8:30pm, you have school tomorrow." Mom says and I walk as in a trance in to Sam and wakes him up. He gives me a weird look and asks me if I'm okay but I just force a smile and move my head up and down. I don't really trust my voice right now.
